@charlie_ppddestinations So many things..the working animation and movie studios, the original Backlot tour which was amazing and The Great Movie Ride. I also remember when they had real movie stars come and do interviews and guests could sit in the audience. I remember June Allyson was there once when we were there. I wish they had kept to the original vision and included more Roger Rabbit in the parks. Roger Rabbit, Dick Tracy, The Rocketeer all remind me so much of Disney-MGM Studios when I watch them.

@jae_rabbit_disney @maroon_toons_sc maybe a supportor patch idea... A tribute to the studio? Love the sign...
